Rove: Dowd 'twisted, deranged'

Rove: Dowd 'twisted, deranged' By: Alexander Burns June 10, 2009 01:38 PM EST

Former White House adviser Karl Rove lashed out at New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd on Fox News Channel Wednesday, saying Dowd was a "nasty, snarky person" with a "twisted, bitter little heart."

"I think Maureen Dowd is a bitter, twisted, deranged columnist for the New York Times who misses no opportunity to show her disdain for the conservative side of the aisle," Rove said on Fox News Channel.

"I actually went to an editorial board meeting at the New York Times and wasted a couple bucks on some flowers to give Maureen Dowd…give her a smile on her face. And that didn't even work," he recalled. "This is a dour, downbeat liberal."

Rove's comments came in response to a quote in Dowd's Wednesday column, about President Obama's leisure activities, in which she took a shot at former President George W. Bush. The Politico 44 Story Widget Requires Adobe Flash Player.

"[S]ome respite from the pressure [of the presidency] is clearly a healthy thing," Dowd wrote. "Not as much respite as W. took, bicycling and vacationing through all the disasters that President Obama is now stuck fixing — spending a total of 490 days in the tumbleweed isolation of Crawford and rarely deigning to sightsee as he traveled the world."

She drinks sherry for breakfast, wears sweaters in August, has 58 cats, and yells at the neighborhood children if they step on her lawn.

Rove gave her flowers, expecting them to put a smile on his face? He must be jesting.

Nice to hear Rove spell it out. Been a long time coming as far as I’m concerned and ‘new tone’ never did work with those ghouls. I would like to see Republicans hit back like this or like Ziegler did today.

Dowd and Zeta-Jones aren’t even the same species.

Douglas could have been charged with bestiality.

Yeah. I grew-up among them (Massachusetts). They are bitter, hateful, utterly racist, over-educated fools. I thank G-d every day I got out.

Close but not quite. :=)

Those pictures, of course, are my only reason for reading this post.
